Episode 51 – Hello Mister Blue Sky

Shockin displays her inner Rainbow Dash, Cash is afraid of Bam-Her, Farrah pretends to be a jam ref, and Hater goes Vulcan with a new men’s team skater. This week’s rule is 3.1.1 and tells the story of the pack. Our guest this week is in minerview form from Reini The Rolling’Greaser and he reminds us that roller derby is not just skating and holding hands. The song of the week, Comme Elle Vient by Noir Désir, comes to us from The Rolling’Greaser. Blue two seven done.Our Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/heathertopolski/playlist/47FFm6mIgEsBJmojIRRXoe

Why We Shouldn’t Worry About Trump

Reasons I’M not afraid of Trump winning the election.

1. He’s a pathological liar, delusional, and/or a huckster.
I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Does that mean I want him as president? Of course not, but by that note, I also don’t believe what he says he’s going to do if elected. There will never be a “wall”. (see below)

2. He’s either clueless about how our government works or is saying the things he says to rile up his “base”.
Either way, the President is not allowed to do a lot of what he says.  Seriously, there will never be a “wall”.

3. Whether it’s Trump or Hillary who wins, my ass will be out in the streets fighting whatever bullcrap they bring.
Will you?

Reasons YOU shouldn’t be afraid of Trump winning the election.

1. See above.

2. He’s had multiple stances on the dog whistle issues.
Abortion, gay marriage, war, etc. He doesn’t hold to any ideology other than himself. And he won’t have any problem pissing off his base if he gets in office.

3. Even Republicans hate this guy.

4. Trump is the latest boogeyman.
How many times are you going to let Lucy pull the ball out from you? Yes, I know. But THIS one is worse. There will always be a boogeyman to scare you. Don’t believe the hype.

5. Remember, it’s not how many people vote, it’s who counts the votes afterward.
The fix is in, folks. We’ve seen it during the primary. HC will be our next President.

6.  He’s not as popular as you think.
Just because he gets all the free publicity from the corporate cable news channels (do you really watch that stuff?), that’s done for alleged ratings.  Turn that crap off.  He’s constantly on it, because old people and doctors’ offices always have those channels on.

7.  His crash & burn is starting.
First of all, he’s too lousy of a businessman and has treated too many people like dirt.  All of that stuff is already coming out and it’s going to be an avalanche if he comes out of the convention with the nomination.  Why?  Ratings & clicks, my friend.  Second, some of you followed this guy as a reality show entity.  Great.  You maybe saw him once a week, the occasional commercial.  Now he’s all over the freaking place and it’s always the same buffoonish behavior.  Just when you think you couldn’t be fed up enough… oh, just wait.  He’s not going to be able to dial it down as we get closer to November.

Reasons we should be voting for the Green Party’s candidate.*

1. The way the Sanders campaign has gone down should have convinced you that both the Democratic & Republican parties (and their subsidiaries) are counter-revolutionary.
These parties cannot be fixed from within. This argument has been made at federal, state and local levels for years. I have never seen a shred of evidence that this is possible.

2. If all the disgruntled people voted for the Green candidate, at a minimum, the established parties would shit themselves (some of the older folks, literally). And if some polls are correct (!) it could bring a plurality victory – assuming the election’s not rigged enough.

3. Do you want your vote to REALLY count?
The Greens getting 5% of the vote brings Federal matching funds for federal races (for, I think the next 4 years). They don’t take corporate / PAC donations. Think of electoral damage they could do with that kind of funding. Your vote will actually stand for something!  You should be voting for 3rd Party candidates for this reason alone.

4. But the Supreme Court!
The Senate confirms SCOTUS candidates.  If you’re worried about SCOTUS you should be focusing on the Senate.  Remember, Democrats voted for Scalia. Yessireebob.  A Democratic President doesn’t mean squat. I expound more on that here.

Music Show #02 – 7/1/2016 – Self discovery and thanking others.

This Friday’s show is focused on the importance of striving to understand our love better and then finding ways to share that love with others. Today from 2:30 to 3 PM.

Song #1 “Who You Are” – A fun, upbeat song that encourages us to realize that the song that we write for ourselves and then sing with love for others can help us to live fuller lives.

Song #2 “We Could Start Today” – A hopeful, happy, motivating song that sings about how we can begin today to bring about some changes in ourselves and thus affect the changes around us.

Song #3 “Thanks to the Folks” – A song written to show our appreciation for all the sacrifices made by those who fought so hard for the freedoms that we enjoy today.

Song #4 “Oh, Malala” – What a brave young woman Malala is. If we could even be half as courageous as her in the struggle for justice, this world would be so much better off.

Song #5 “Help Us to Know What Love Is”  – A joyful song that request some help in our search to understand what love is.

song #6 “The Learning Tree” – A kid’s sing-a-long about how much fun it can be to learn new things.

Song #7 “The Happy Re-birthday Song” – A happy birthday wish for us all to take a moment on our special day to reflect on our past year and then to re-empower our most positive energies for the new year ahead.

Graduating to the Radio Friday June 24th

DerbyROcz_1C_Black

The Derby Rocz Podcast started out as a way 4 friends from Rochester Women’s Derby Roc City Roller Derby could talk about the sport they love in a weekly forum.  They started out telling stories about their experiences and encouraging listeners to participate.  Segments with the who’s who in the sport, rules explained and a little bit about the hosts too.  This Friday we move to the airwaves of WRFZ 106.3-LP and we are excited to say the least!  We take questions and hopefully give answers.  Email them to us at derbyrocz@gmail.com and please join us this week and every week at 7p!
